ushyph – US hy­phen­ation pat­terns

Knuth's hy­phen­ation pat­terns for English in Amer­i­can or­thog­ra­phy
(his hy­phen.tex) ap­pear here as ushy­ph1.tex; these pat­terns will
be in­stalled for the de­fault lan­guage in any con­ven­tional TeX
dis­tri­bu­tion.

In 1990, ex­tended pat­terns for hy­phen­ation of US English
were pub­lished (TUGboat 11(1)). They ap­pear here as ushy­phen.tex
(the ba­sic set) and ushy­ph­max.tex (a set that is be­lieved to find
all ad­miss­able hy­phen­ation points).
